Global Warming and the Mitigation of Fires in California
by Marcel F. Williams
The surface of the Earth has always been a dangerous place for humans to live on: dangerous floods during exceptional rainfall near mountains or rivers, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, earthquakes, tsunamis, forest fires, dry grass fires, etc.
And now that fossil fuels have created an artificial Pliocene atmosphere, its probably going to take nearly the rest of the century to restore the Earth's atmosphere back to normal Holocene temperatures by gradually transitioning from a fossil fuel economy to a carbon neutral energy economy.
So California is simply going to have to adapt to increasing temperatures.
Dry foliage, including dead trees, near urbanized areas is going to have to be aggressively harvested and converted into useful hydrocarbons through pyrolysis for the production of carbon neutral fuels and synthetic materials.
Desalination and extraction of water directly from the atmosphere is going to have to be mandated in order for there to be adequate amounts of water for domestic urban use and to fight fires. Such water sources are too expensive for farming-- but they're not too expensive for utilization by urbanites.
It would probably be a good idea to encourage swimming pools to be added to new housing in areas prone to heat waves, a large home water source that the fire department or resident can use-- as a last resort-- to possibly preserve a home from fire damage. And swimming pools, of course, add economic value to your estate.
